With the completion Of the new
building the HALEY Public School has
taken rank with the foremost institu-
tons of its kind in the world. A
High School course and other desira.
BILE features of graded schools have
been added. Four teachers are en-
ployed, but the building can accom-
modate four more whenever the rap
idly increasing number of pupils shall
require them.
The object to be attained by the
HALEY High School and Commercial
School is to prepare young men and
young women to enter College or
University; it is organized upon the
gymnasium plan, SO that students
may receive training in the prepare
tory branches and be prepared to en-.
ter the Freshman year of our Uni
versities. The course of study in
some branches extends beyond the
gymnasium in order to give students
who do not, or cannot, attend the
higher schools, advantages that fit
them to study any one of the profes.
sions.
The other departments of the school
are preparatory to the High School
course. A child entering the pri-
mary or kindergarten grade can, in
three years, with ordinary application,
be fitted for the higher grade. Two
years additional spent there will fit
him or her to creditably occupy a po-
sition and perform the duties ex-
pected in almost any avocation, and
even lay q broad foundation for
those who desire to 60 further and
obtain liberal education.
The government of the school will
be purely democratic. Every pupil is
placed on his or her own sense of
honor, and made responsible, just as
he or she is in any well-regulated so.
ciety. We hold that school life is an
integral part of real life, not some
thing separate from it or merely pre-.
paratory to it. The same usages, re-
sponsibilities and obligations that pre-
vail outside of school walls are bind.
ing upon our pupils IN every grade.
This is not reformatory school. We
do not essay to manage "incorrigi-
bles." Pupils who attend with the
desire to make most of their time, ap.
probate the advantages of being in a
school in which the indolent, the vic.
ious and the riotous are not permitted
to remain. The spirit of the school
is earnest, systematic and diligent
labor.
Examinations in all grades for pro-
motion will be held at the end of each
term.
Pupils of the Grammar Grade that

are admitted to pursue the High School
course. Pupils are required to make
a general average of rs per centum
in all grades of the Grammar School,
to be promoted; pupils falling below
so per centum in any one branch will
not be promoted. Pupils of the
High School, to be promoted, must
make a general average of 80 per
